At HubSpot, we’re on a mission to help millions of organisations grow better.

Technical Lead

Meet the Team: Downmarket

The Downmarket team focuses on delivering fast, intuitive, consumer-grade product experiences that help small businesses get immediate value from HubSpot. We build lightweight, high-leverage tools that meet users where they already work, including external integrations, add-ons, and companion apps, all designed to help new customers onboard quickly, understand HubSpot’s value, and grow with the platform.

You’ll join a highly entrepreneurial group that experiments rapidly, moves between ideas quickly, and often builds proof-of-concept solutions that may evolve, pivot, or get replaced as we learn. The work is creative, exploratory, and deeply cross-functional, blending engineering, product, and growth thinking to shape entirely new entry points into HubSpot.

Responsibilities:

• Lead a team of engineers where autonomy, flexibility, and experimentation are core values.
• Spend ~60% of your time hands-on — setting technical direction, prototyping, and building alongside the team.
• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders across HubSpot to identify opportunities and ship high-impact solutions.
• Guide the team through rapid iteration cycles, including building MVPs, testing hypotheses, and pivoting based on learnings.
• Mentor and grow engineers, helping shape a culture rooted in curiosity, ownership, and customer empathy.
• Collaborate cross-company with engineering, product, design, marketing, and sales to bring new ideas to life.
• Help our smallest customers succeed by shipping improvements that make HubSpot easier to adopt and more delightful to use.
• Implement and run experiments that generate insights into user behaviour, onboarding success, and early lifecycle value.
• Gain broad exposure to how HubSpot functions as a business and how we serve different customer segments.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is a strong senior backend engineer (Java experience required) with leadership experience on smaller teams, especially in critical or challenging systems.
• Takes end-to-end ownership, works collaboratively with product partners, and can simplify complex problems into user-friendly solutions.
• Consistently ships reliable, performant, well-tested code, even when juggling competing priorities.
• Has an interest in external integrations, lightweight apps, or consumer-style experiences — and enjoys learning new technologies quickly.
• Knows how to foster autonomy, psychological safety, and strong product-engineering partnership within a team.
• Cares deeply about intuitive UX and helping customers experience value as quickly as possible.
• Enjoys mentoring and coaching, and loves learning from teammates across disciplines.
• Puts the customer at the centre, shaping insights that help improve the HubSpot platform
